Secluded, but near interstates and shopping
Troy Hills is a suburb that’s part of the Parsippany area, distinguished by a tranquil atmosphere and relative sense of seclusion, even though busy interstates on the west and north ends create connection to bustling retail stretches. “Troy Hills is less dense than Parsippany proper,” says Frank LaMorte, a broker associate with Latimer Realty. “It’s a quiet area, with historic homes bordering the Hanovers.” Other Realtors affirm that varied housing styles and a vibrant ecology play a part in establishing local character. “The neighborhood is often referred to as the historic district of Parsippany and is right next to the protected wetlands,” says Triveni Gurikar, a broker with RE/MAX, who has sold homes in Morris County since 1987. The CAP Index crime score is a 2 out of 10. The national average is 4.
Townhouses starting around $700,000
Prices in Troy Hills range from $700,000 to $1.5 million, with the low end represented by stone-accented 2000s-era townhouses and the high end represented by brick modern traditional homes. On the east end, closer to the wetlands, there are historic colonials, ranch-style homes and split-levels, sometimes on secluded lots. A four-bedroom split-level sitting on a quarter acre lot can sell for $775,000. “There are so many types of homes in the area with varying lot sizes,” says Gurikar. “The land is super expensive, so people will buy anything they can afford around here. Recently, a home sold for $500,000 only to be ripped down and rebuilt from scratch.”
